She needed the run in Galway and was improving at home all the time,. I think it was a very fast race and it fell into her lap a little bit - the ones in front were keen to get on with it and Paul sat out and waited for the race to come back to him which it did eventually. I'd have no trouble going out in trip with her as she looked caught for toe over the first couple of hurdles. She will go back up in grade at some stage and we'll try and win what we can over the winter for her owner Sean McManus, who couldn't be here today. I think she'll stay over hurdles this season, she is six now but I hadn't planned going chasing. W P Mullins, trainer

He kept tabs on French Made (Fr) but leaving the backstraight they got away from him and he squeezed his mount all the way up the straight. He further stated that his mount is very genuine and she ran on for keeping at her up the straight. William Coleman O'Brien, confirmed the instuctions and expressed his satisfaction with the ride given.
